Also, please see very recent Lee's note and pay attention to these words: " This won't work as 1.0.9-rc4 is older than the version that comes with kernel 2.6.13. Either use the latest ALSA release (1.0.10) or just use the version included with kernel 2.6.13. ". Guys, actually, nobody cares how you call it - ABI or API. Let's talk in consumer's language - if newer binary version doesn't work, but an older binary version used to work, making the whole thing work should be no more complex than replacing new 'xpdf' RPM with the old one.

This won't work as 1.0.9-rc4 is older than the version that comes with kernel 2.6.13. Either use the latest ALSA release (1.0.10) or just use the version included with kernel 2.6.13. BTW there's no reason to run 2.6.13.1, there are newer 2.6.13.x kernels available. Lee " ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
